I am helping a girl with her 06 Hawkeye 4x4 and the problem is when the AWD is engaged, the fuse blows. Any help? I am at my wits end. Any info would be aprreciated. I tried the search function but did not find anything.

 

couldnt find any shorted or corroded wires? bare wire touching and grounding out? need to start tracing the wires down to see if there grouning out or somehow where the wires go into the front end is issue and touching each other. just some ideas.

 

I check for obvious things and have disconnected the connector for the on demand at the front diff. With it disconnected and the switch in 'awd' fuse is fine but as soon as I plug it up fuse blows. I am thinking its in the front diff but was curious if anyone had ran into this before?

 

i have heard of a few cases of where the wires going into the front end housing broke and not working.

 

I guess in that case if its internal, i have no choice but to replace the diff?

 

i
would check it out before i replace anything first.

 

The coil may be shorted.....You need to find out what the Ohms reading should be and go from there.............Caper..........
